Anyone have one i can borrow? Thanks in advance.

 

ahahaha i knew this would happen. good luck!

 

Does anyone have an extra stock crank pulley lying around at all?

Would be much appreciated.

 

borrow the crank pulley tool from local honda dealer or autozone or advanced

 

Stratocaster has one for sale.

 

Well i tried these options yesterday. The dealer won't sell, rent, or lend any tools. They "SUGGEST" that i make an appointment to have a tech do the pully swap for me. I said F that why would i pay someone else to do what i can do myself. Autozone, pepboys, advance, and salvo do rent tools but donot have the tool i need to rent. Pepboys tried to sell me a gear puller. I just walked away without saying anything. Salvo does sell one crank pully wrench made for honda. But it was way too small. I could order one but i dont have time to wait for shipping. So now my next option is to make my own. I'm going to take a 2" nut and weld it to a peice of flat bar. If this dos'nt work out things are going to get dangerous and i will probaly be looking for a new starter That depends on how desperate i get.

 

sucks that it's so hard to get a hold of. i just borrowed it from my honda dealer and the crank pulley comes off within 5 seconds of getting the tool on there with a breaker bar with a friend

 

Do you know if yours was reverse thread? when looking at the motor from the front. What way did you turn the bolt? I got a 2 ' nut to hold the pully but i broke 2 3/8 drives on the bolt. When we took the pully off davids car the bolt spun off counter clockwise. his was MY01 and mine is MY02. I cant believe its that tight so i was wondering if they may have reversed thread from 01 to 02. I'm going to try a 1/2" drive on the socket tomorrow but i'm affraid of shearing the bolt off.

 

i cant remember if it was a reverse thread but i remember speculating so with my friend that helped me. don't waste your time trying to do it without that tool. we got a perfect sized nut and welded it to a steel bar to use as a crank pulley tool but it just broke. everything we tried just broke. easiest and least frustrating thing to do is to just get that tool. takes literally 5 seconds and 2 breaker bars
